8.6 Academic Tools Online

Whether you are preparing your lesson plans or looking for a little something extra to add to a lecture, the Internet offers you an abundance of academic resources. You can find drawings or photographs that add a visual dimension to instruction or you can find audio clips to bring a famous speech to life or meet the needs of auditory learners. You can also find encyclopedias, dictionaries, and even a current atlas. And, of course, any topic for which you feel you need greater depth before lecturing can be easily researched on the Web.
